Lignan

This article is about the phytoestrogen. For the wood polymer, see Lignin. For the wine and table grape, see Lignan (grape). For the town in Italy, see Lignano Sabbiadoro.

The lignans are a large group of low molecular weight polyphenols found in plants, particularly seeds, whole grains, and vegetables.[1] The name derives from the Latin word for "wood".[2] Lignans are precursors to phytoestrogens.[1][3] They may play a role as antifeedants in the defense of seeds and plants against herbivores.[4]
